    FS: Walker Proscenium Gold Signature Turntable

    A great price on a great turntable, and not even a nibble? C'mon man! There has to be one of you out there that wants a Walker in their room. At less than 1/3 of new retail and 90% of the sound of the latest units, it's a perfect fit for some lucky soul.

    Had to play "Beat the Reaper"a few years back, following recovery, a month long trip to the Khumbu in Nepal in October 2015 get me thinking about shifting priorities and doing more things that I love. Don't want my tombstone to read "Gee, I wish I had worked more" The sinister part was a CVA...

    FS: Walker Proscenium Gold Signature Turntable

    Hey Christian! Keeping a core LP collection, downsized system. Looking at a move to the Inter-Mountain west to ski every day during the winter and fly fish every day when I'm not skiing. I spent a month in the Mt. Everest region of Nepal in 2015 that has me looking at retirement to pursue...

    Original owner of this statement vinyl playback system. Includes current generation air supply system and upgraded suspension valves for footers. This table was installed and maintained by Lloyd Walker and Fred Law. It has remained in place since new. There is a small stain on the surface of the...

    Audiophile Friendly Electrician in NJ

    Corbin Electric out of Manalapan are a really knowledgable group. They did not do my dedicated lines, but they did a whole house back up generator system for me and did a great job.

    CNBC: Why Millennials Are Buying More Vinyl Records

    I don't disagree with you re: discipline and level of attention. Digital music makes it easier to go from one file to another. Nor do I disagree with the ceremony of the LP experience. Many folks, myself included appreciate the beauty of quality art work on an LP jacket. It's more than music...

    CNBC: Why Millennials Are Buying More Vinyl Records

    I am glad to see that there is a new generation that appreciates the tactile experience of putting an LP on the table, sitting down with the jacket in hand and taking in the artwork and liner notes. More important, listening to and entire side before jumping up and moving on to something else...

    Is the left chanel always louder for you?

    If you are listening to a vinyl playback setup, it could be that the azimuth on your cartridge needs a bit of adjustment

    Help me make sense of cleaning fluids!

    My rcm is the HannL GmbH wand based cleaning machine. I use the Walker Prelude 4 step (enzyme, cleaner, reagent grade water rinse, 2nd rinse), followed by a couple of shots with a Zerostat. Wand based cleaning systems can create a bit of a static charge, eliminated with the Zerostat.

    Grateful Dead 24/192 download Spring 1990

    Steve- I sold my favorite portable taping rig to pay for my Walker Turntable. I have thousands of hours of live shows and still listen to a lot of them. I have the entire Dicks Picks series ripped to the hard drive of my music server, some of Dave's Picks, lots of other GD goodies and DVDs...

    Grateful Dead 24/192 download Spring 1990

    Marty, I could have not said it any better. Great suggestions to get people initiated to the musical magic of GD. A lot of people point to the 5/8/77 show in Barton Hall at Cornell as the apex show. There is no denying that the Spring 1977 run was a series of great East Coast shows. My personal...

    Grateful Dead 24/192 download Spring 1990

    Listening to an Aud tape from the June 20 1980 Summer Solstice show at the West High School Auditorium in Anchorage, Alaska. I'm going to follow that one up with the 8/27/72 barnburner Creamery Benefit from Veneta, Oregon.

    Grateful Dead 24/192 download Spring 1990

    As someone who saw their first Dead show in 1971, and taped a lot of shows from around 1980 on, I don't really have much to say about the current music except that to wonder why they did not ask John Kadelczek (sp?) of Dark Star Orchestra to play lead, instead of Trey Anastasio. The handwriting...

    Help ...thinking of ordering Allnic H3000

    Christian offers great advice. In the case of my H3000 I am the happiest with the NOS 5U4G. The GZ varients are better than the stock tube. My 3000 is the quietest phono stage I have ever had in my system. The flexibility of having adjustable EQ curves is a nice bonus, at an increase in cost. I...
